This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------040505000200050702090508 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit hi, I am currently in the process of preparing the ovirt-guest-agent for F17 package review, so it can be included in the distribution. In the meantime you can use the repository as mentioned by Jason. The qemu-guest-agent is not the same thing. The qemu guest agent comes with just a little of the features the ovirt-guest-agent currently provides, even though they are duplicating features, such as hibernation (S3,S4) support and things like shutdown initiated by the OS through the respective guest agent. The ovirt-guest-agent is providing also additional information to the web admin portal, such as current IP, logged in user, memory consumption etc. Also it provides the ability to implement a feature called 'Single Sign On' so that you can enter your user/password combination only once in the user portal login and once you have opened the guest os spice session you get automatically logged in to the guest system.

i saw in another thread about ovirt-guest-agent, but this is the first i have seen of anything about this. i would like to know more, but yum info ovirt-guest-agent doesn't feed me anything. i see a qemu-guest-agent, is that the same thing and does it need to be installed on all my VMs?
thanks, jonathan
